CHICAGO – The Cincinnati Reds finished a long, meat-grinder road trip with an unlikely series win over the contending Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field Sunday, Aug. 30.
As tough as their gauntlet of a final stretch of games might have looked before their 7-5 victory in the series finale Sunday (Aug. 30), it might have just gotten uglier, pending the next medical exam on All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz.
De La Cruz, one of only two members of the Reds lineup who has performed consistently all season, left Sunday's game in the seventh inning because of "left quad tightness." His status as the team headed home with 25 games left on the schedule was not immediately clear.
For now, the Reds pocketed their third win in four games to finish a 4-5 road trip through Arizona, San Francisco and Chicago.
The better individual news for the Reds coming out of Sunday was the status of rising ace Chase Burns, who pitched two outs deep into the sixth against one of the best lineups in baseball to earn the victory, bouncing back six days after his worst start of the season, in San Francisco.
